Comprising more than 1200 pages, this textbook is a complete guide to the use of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of obstetric and gynaecologic disorders. Divided into three sections, the book begins with an introduction to the use and safety of ultrasound, the development of 3D ultrasound, pitfalls and normal variants, and medicolegal issues. The second section discusses its application in pregnancy and section three covers ultrasound for the diagnosis of gynaecological disorders. Authored by an internationally recognised team of experts, the fifth edition has been fully revised and updated to provide clinicians with the latest advances and knowledge in the field. A number of new topics have been added to this edition. A multitude of ultrasound images, illustrations and tables further enhance the comprehensive text. Whether used as a reference guide or read in its entirety, this book is invaluable for sonologists and sonographers worldwide. The previous edition (9789386056870) published in 2017.

This atlas is a practical guide to the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis of foetal anomalies. The second edition has been fully revised and new topics added, to provide clinicians with the latest advances in the field. Beginning with an overview of ultrasound and foetal anomalies, each of the following sections covers a different type of foetal disorder, from the most common to the most serious, including face malformations, skeletal dysplasias, congenital heart and lung conditions, brain structure and central nervous system anomalies, and many more. The text draws on the experience of internationally recognised experts in the field, led by renowned editors from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Japan, and the USA. A multitude of foetal ultrasound images and figures further enhance this comprehensive guide. The previous edition (9788180619199) published in 2007.

A comprehensive, accessible approach to the everyday ethical challenges faced in obstetric and gynecological practice. Offering practical guidance for practitioners at all levels, the text also provides a sustained exploration of professional ethics in the intersection of obstetrics and gynecology with psychiatry. Drawing on their award-winning teaching, the authors start each chapter with goals, objectives, topics, and a list of key concepts, which are defined in a separate section. Chapters cover a multitude of topics, from pregnancy and the quest for the 'perfect' baby to end-of-life care - all underpinned by the need for professionally responsible research, advocacy, and health policy. Professional Ethics in Obstetrics and Gynecology is an indispensable resource for both trainee and practicing obstetricians and gynecologists. A chapter devoted solely to pedagogy in professional ethics in obstetrics and gynecology supports the readers' learning and those with or without formal training in ethics to teach students, residents, and colleagues.

This book provides the first clinically comprehensive and practical approach to ethical challenges in perinatal medicine. The first chapter introduces and explains the professional responsibility model of perinatal ethics. The professional responsibility model is based on the medical ethics of two major physician-ethics in the history of Western medical ethics, Dr. John Gregory (1724-1773) of Scotland and Dr. Thomas Percival (1740-1804) of England. The professional responsibility model is used to articulate the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient and to operationalize the ethical principles of beneficence and respect for autonomy. The book provides practical guidance for clinical judgment and decision making with patients about the responsible clinical management of the wide range of issues encountered by perinatologists in clinical practice and research. Topics included: periviability; feticide; intrapartum management; maternal-fetal conflict; innovation for fetal benefit; research for fetal benefit; non-aggressive obstetric management; managing the transition from pregnancy to birth; destructive procedures such as cephalocentesis; critical care for the pregnant patient; home birth; patient-choice cesarean delivery; neonatal care as a trial of management; and setting limits on neonatal care on the basis of clinical judgments of futility.

A comprehensive review of problems that may occur during pregnancy and labour. Beginning with antenatal care and surveillance throughout pregnancy, the following chapters discuss various medical conditions that may arise including diabetes, pulmonary and neurological diseases, urinary complications, cardiac disease and endocrine disorders. Several chapters are dedicated to labour and include topics such as instrumental delivery, postpartum problems, haemorrhage and neonatal resuscitation. With contributions from internationally renowned obstetricians, this manual includes more than 400 images and illustrations.

- The question 'when did human life begin? Has been challenging Philosophers, scientists, religious and political leaders since hundreds of years. - On sept. 29, 2007, the academy of medical sciences of croatia, world academy of Art and science, and the international academy of perinatal medicine sponsored a symposium on 'facts and doubts about the beginning of Human Life', at the Croatian medical association, Zagreb, croatia.

- Presents an up-to-date information on indications, complications and results of standard and experimental interventional procedures - Discusses in detail on interventional cardiology, fetal therapy, fetoscopy, celocentesis, fetal biopsy procedures, fetal blood sampling, fetal pleural effusion, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, invasive procedures and therapies in multiple pregnancy reduction and selective termination, fetal hydrocephalus, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, twin to diaphragmatic hernia, twin to twin transfusion syndrome, etc.

The series is devoted to the publication of monographs and high-level textbooks in mathematics, mathematical methods and their applications. Apart from covering important areas of current interest, a major aim is to make topics of an interdisciplinary nature accessible to the non-specialist. The works in this series are addressed to advanced students and researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics. In addition, it can serve as a guide for lectures and seminars on a graduate level. The series de Gruyter Studies in Mathematics was founded ca. 35 years ago by the late Professor Heinz Bauer and Professor Peter Gabriel with the aim to establish a series of monographs and textbooks of high standard, written by scholars with an international reputation presenting current fields of research in pure and applied mathematics. While the editorial board of the Studies has changed with the years, the aspirations of the Studies are unchanged. In times of rapid growth of mathematical knowledge carefully written monographs and textbooks written by experts are needed more than ever, not least to pave the way for the next generation of mathematicians. In this sense the editorial board and the publisher of the Studies are devoted to continue the Studies as a service to the mathematical community. Please submit any book proposals to Niels Jacob.
